The league is still working on whether to have a 50- or 48-game schedule for what's left of the 2012-13 season.

According to reports if the league decides on a 50-game season teams will play five games vs. all divisional opponents and three outside the division. If it's 48, it may be unbalanced within the division with four games vs. two teams and five games vs. the two other teams, but the same with other conference opponents.

The league canceled all games through Jan. 14, which cost the Bruins 42 games of their 82-game schedule meaning either 10 or eight games will have to be added.

A potential start date of Saturday, Jan. 19 has been mentioned, which would send the Bruins to Montreal.

A full schedule release may not come until Thursday or Friday. An update will be posted once that's known.

With news of the lockout ending, Bruins captain Zdeno Chara was pulled from his KHL game and told to get ready to head back to Boston according to CSNNE.com.
